Ngā marau: Genre/Form: Summary: Bob Fothergill dreams of buying his own farm instead of renting. Sally, his teenage daughter, wishes her father would see that she could help more on the land - but he believes that a girl's place is in the home. Ben, the youngest, has no interest in farming, so is ignored. Sally's mother Ivy makes do, knowing her husband only wants the best for them. But when Bob decides to take a job with the local dairy, it causes friction in the family. Sally gets her wish to be more hands-on with the farm, coping with a bad winter and lambing sheep. Then a stranger walks into Ivy's life who shows her the affection she craves. Meanwhile, the threat of another world war is undermining everything. Times might be hard now, but worse things are yet to come. Will the Fothergills be able to weather the storm?
